prop. in Winslow's Tamil dictionary

[N. Ganesan]

I have a small question: In Miron Winslow's Tamil-English dictionary,
we often see "prop.". What does "prop." means
in Winslow dictionary? prop. = properly? we can see ".prop" 653 times
in DSAL, Chicago.
http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/romadict.pl?query=prop.&table=winslow

For example
அடப்பம், (p. 9) [ aṭappam, ] s. [prop. அடைப்பை.] A betel pouch,
வெற்றிலைப்பை. 2. A barber's bag, கருவிப்பை.

This is with respect to analyzing and reconstructing the
Dravidian root (PD) for words with the meaning, "small path",
iTaGkar, iNTu, iTukku in Tamil, and డొంక [ ḍoṅka ] in Telugu.
C. P. Brown's Telugu - English dictionary,
"డొంక [ ḍoṅka ] ḍonka. [tel.] n. A coppice, a copse, a thicket, a
waste. Bramble, bushes. A narrow path between two fields left as a
passage for cattle. పొద, పశువులదారి. డొంకనల్లంచి or పొదనల్లంచి
ḍonka-nallanchi. n. The Shama, Cittocincla macrura. (F.B.I.)
డొంకియ [ ḍoṅkiya ] ḍonkiya. [Tel.] n. A foot path.
డొంకు [ ḍoṅku ] ḍonku. [Tel.] v. n. To lie hidden: to hide or
disappear, to shrink or retreat. అడగు. To dry up. ఇంకు, ఎండిపోవు. Swa.
iii. 73. n. A dent in a stone. Crookedness. వంకర. డొంకునామము a crooked
mark on the forehead."

For iNTu, iTukku, we have to compare their root words like viL- >
viNTu, viTukku. And, iTaGkar (డొంక [ ḍoṅka] in Telugu) which has a
meaning comes from viTaGkar. See Miron Winslow's dictionary:
http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/romadict.pl?query=%E0%AE%87%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%99%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D&table=winslow
"இடங்கர், (p. 80) [ iṭngkr, ] s. An alligator, முதலை. 2. Fornicators,
adulterers--as இடக்கர், 3. [prop. விடங்கர்.] A narrow or close way,
சிறுவழி. 4. A water-pot or jar, நீர்ச்சால். (p.)"
"
Ancient Tamil nighaNTu, PiGkalantai gives:
viTaGkar & iTaGkar as 'ciRuvazi' "= small path".
http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.12:1:453.tamillex

viTaGkar/iTaGkar is the name of Gharial crocodile among the
three jAtis of crocodiles in India, often mentioned in Sangam
literature and later. Loss word-initial v- and resulting in "iTaGkar"
for Gangetic crocodile is at least 3000 years old. The clinching
evidence of iTaGkar < viTaGkar as Sangam Tamil word for gharials is
enshrined in one of its meanings: nIrccaal "water-pot" and kuTam
"pot", the characteristic of gharials that I explained years ago.

Again, my question:
what does prop. in Winslow mean? what is the full word that gets
abbreviated as "prop."? Winslow says,
இடங்கர், [prop. விடங்கர்.] A narrow or close way, சிறுவழி.

Thanks for your help,
N. Ganesan

dear mr ganesan

I thought I can easily give the answer, as I had the dictionary scanned from a library when I was in Manchester;  so when I managed to open the huge pdf-110 mb; and then I found the particular page (page xii in the dictionary -Directions for using the Lexicon- is not scanned!);  page xi ends with priv.

but seeing the context, I believe it probably means alternate usage (proper usage)

See the examples below:

*அகலிகை, (p. 2) [ *akalikai, ] [prop.] அகலியை, s. One of the five matrons and wife of Gau tama a sage and philosopher, பஞ்சகன்னி கைகளிலொருத்தி. Wils. p. 1. AHALYA.

*அகாத்தியம், (p. 2) [ *akāttiyam, ] s. [priv. அ prop. அகிருத்தியம்.] Deceit, wickedness, பொல் லாங்கு. (p.)

அக்கடி, (p. 4) [ akkṭi, ] s. [prop. அஃகடி.] Diffi culty, disaster, trouble in a voyage or journey, peril, அலைவு. (c.)

அக்கம், (p. 4) [ akkm, ] s. Grain, தானியம். See அகம்; [prop. அஃகம்.] 2. Rope, cord, கயிறு. 3. A tree, as தான்றிமரம். (p.) 4. (c.) Side, பக்கம், as அக்கம்பக்கம் பார்த்துப் பேசினான், he looked about him and spoke.

*அக்கா, (p. 5) [ *akkā, ] s. A mother, தாய். (p.)

அக்கா, s. [prop. அக்காள்.] Elder sister, முன்பிறந்தாள். (c.) அக்காதேவி, s. The goddess of evil, மூதேவி, the elder sister of இலக்குமி. (p.)
